THE CONVENTIONS.

The doubts Of the Dispatch on the sub
iect of convention have been almost If
not entirely removed by the Lynchburg
Adcance.
The Adodnce is good authority, but the
question is exactly as we put il Whether
or not the leaders of the party think that
we can safely undertake the canvass upon
an endorsement Of the acts of the Leg
islature.
OF course those Democrats who con-
slider the plan of obstructive legislation
wise, should favor the calling Of state
Convention, but if that issue is put forth
in platform II will give the Republicans
the opportunity to post themselves in
decided position against it, and involve
us In a very damaging criticism.
The debt question is at present before
the courts, and Democrats can discuss II
if they like without pledging the party to
the measures that thus far have failed TO
produce any result but confusion.
There are thousands Of good Demo
Gratis who wish to work for the success
of the party, but who could not con
scientiously pledge themselves TO what
they think was unwisc and wrong
With all respect to those who think the
other way, we feel confident that the
canvass should be put on the opposition
to Republicanism, in which course it can
be aggressive.
If ii is put on platform made ont Of
that obstructive legislation, we will be
on the defensive.

preacher at DeadwOod, who was so es-
teemed by his congregation as to be pre-
scented with silver mounted revolver,
went fishing down near Salt Lake City,
and declared that he caught two-pound
trout, and with back cast threw it in the
boiling spring and cooked it on the line.
